The Schmalz SMPi 25 NO RD M12-5 is an intelligent and highly compact vacuum ejector designed for decentralized vacuum generation directly at the point of use. Part of the SMPi series, this model integrates vacuum generation, monitoring, and control functions into a single, space-saving unit. The “NO” designation indicates a normally-open control valve, meaning vacuum is generated when the device is not energized, providing a fail-safe operation for certain applications. Its reduced design (RD) offers essential functionality for straightforward handling tasks. Equipped with a powerful 2.5 mm nozzle and a standard M12 5-pin electrical connection, it is ideal for dynamic and demanding pick-and-place applications in robotics and automated systems where efficiency and reliability are paramount.
